Comedian Aries Spears recently fell for a convincing deepfake video portraying California Governor Gavin Newsom making bizarre and offensive racist remarks. During an interview, host Vlad shared a fake clip purportedly showing Newsom speaking candidly before a Black audience, with exaggerated claims about his personal habits and cultural identity. Spears initially reacted with disbelief but admitted the video’s realism momentarily fooled him. The AI-generated footage featured Newsom making absurd statements like having multiple “baby mamas” and getting into bar fights, clearly designed to provoke shock and humor. Spears contrasted this reaction to previous moments when he knowingly engaged with equally wild impersonations, including a Trump parody. The incident highlights how AI deepfakes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of fooling even seasoned entertainers. As such digital fabrications circulate online, celebrities and viewers alike must remain vigilant against misinformation disguised as candid content.
